I would like to take this time to thank everyone for the kind words and support this past week. Receiving the Principal of the Year award this week, was such an honor!! What a tribute to our entire school district and community! I feel honored to have had so many phenomenal staff members in and out of our district over the years sharing their talents with our students! I have been blessed with so many supportive parents throughout the years wanting the very best for their children. I am fortunate to live in a community that bands together and functions as a family. I want to thank all of you for making the Valley Falls School District and our community the very best - in a league of its own!
